Samuel has a board that is 44 inches long. He wants to cut it into two pieces so that one piece is 6 inches longer than the other. Which of the equations below could be used to find the length of the shorter piece, s? Check ALL that apply.

2s = 50
s + s + 6 = 44
s + s = 44 + 6
2s = 38
2s + 6 = 44
s + 6 = 44

s + s + 6 = 44

2s = 38

2s + 6 = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Length of the board  = 44inches

Unknown:

equation to find the shorter piece s = ?

Solution:

 let the longer piece  = L

 Shorter piece  = s

s + L = 44 i

Now,

   L  = s + 6 ii

put L  = s + 6 into i;

  s  + s + 6  = 44

     2s + 6  = 44

    2s  = 44 - 6

    2s  = 38

step-by-step explanation:

most likely the answer is a.

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
